Are you interested in becoming a Jobu Pro Ambassador?

First ask yourself a few questions before contacting us:1. Do I make my entire (or large portion of) my income in Nature Photography?2. Do I lead workshops all year round? Do I hold tours, seminars, talks, or participate in conservation efforts?3. Am I a great product ambassador that can reach 10000+ people with my website, social media and other online presence?4. Do I shoot with long lenses and professional bodies?5. I accept that I am asking for a Product Marketing Job, and as such, I want to work with and support Jobu Design products in their product lifecycles.6. I accept that a variety of factors (such as my subject matter, conflicting product promotion, etc.) are reasons I may not be chosen as a product ambassador.

Due to the volume of inquiries we get, we cannot respond to all solicitations for product promotion. If you can't add any substance to the general solicitations we get then please keep working on your portfolio and contact us when you are ready.

Examples of phrases that do not automatically qualify you as a product ambassador:1."I have a great camera and people ask me about it all the time." (Actually ALL of our customers do).2. "I have a ton of people that like my pictures of birds/squirrels/deer..." (So do ALL of our customers).3. "I have a website" (Who doesn't? Even cats have websites of their own).4. "If you send me free stuff I will tell all my friends about how awesome you are". (Who wouldn't? Hello, Porsche? I am still waiting for my Carrera 4S...)5. "Give me a big discount and I will tell everyone about how great you are!" (This is a business, and we are trying to make a living wage. We aren't driving Porsches to work... (see above)).
